India must go for a 'decisive victory' over terrorism: Advani

Union Home Minister Lal Kishenchand Advani on Sunday suggested India must go for a 'decisive victory' over terrorism.

"Efforts are being made to spread a reign of terror in order to destabilise the country. We want a decisive victory over this," he told the convocation of Chaudhary Charan Singh
Haryana Agriculture University at Hisar in Haryana.

For achieving the goal, Advani said cooperation of security forces and administration alone would not help, but the entire country's cooperation was needed.

He said the government would neither hesitate to firm up its response to the situation arising out of the December 13 attack on Parliament, nor would allow it to be influenced by anyone.

"The government is fully committed to end the menace of terrorism. The Centre has neither hesitated from taking any decision nor has its decision been influenced by anyone," he said.
